WARNING: Spoilers about Netflix’s Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark ahead!
PSA: your new fave reality tv obsession just dropped, in the form of Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark.
The addictive new show sees six singles check into a motel in the hopes of finding love *except* instead of being intro’d to new people, they actually are forced to come face-to-face with their sneaky links – and made to undergo a series of challenges testing their compatibility with said sneaky link. The reason? To see if they will check out alone, or as a couple. (Srsly, whoever came up with this concept needs a raise).
The drama is also cranked up a notch with the addition of a number of ‘late check-ins’ including a Playboy model and professional basketball player.
We quickly binged our way through the first season (fingers crossed for another!) and have one question on our minds…what couples are still together? Speaking to Swoon, the show’s host Chloe Veitch has teased a major twist about the show’s verdict, saying: “I can say that you’re genuinely not going to see this curveball coming”
Cue: some serious IG sleuthing at Cosmo UK HQ. To discover what we found out, keep scrolling.
Which Sneaky Links couples are still together?
Bad news for anyone secretly pining for their own sneaky link, none of the OG sneaky link pairings (which would consist of: Manny and Samira, Angelique and Travis, Avery and Colt, Nicole S. and Brandon, Zoe and Kyle, and Nicole V. and Travis) checked out as a couple.
At the final episode there were four couples formed from various individuals in the motel, but did they check out together and do they still seem to be an item?
Avery and Manny
One couple we were rooting for? Avery, a 26-year-old recruiter whose sneaky link was Colt, and Manny, a 26-year-old travel nurse whose sneaky link was Samira.
In the finale, the duo agreed to leave the motel as a couple and Manny said: ““I’ve walked in with a sneaky link mindset. I’ve always had trouble committing, and now I think the relationship I’ve established with Avery has allowed me to grow. I’m like, ‘No, don’t be scared of it. Just take a risk,'” he said.
“I feel good and I’m finally feeling excited about something. For me and Avery, I think the world is our oyster.”
Since leaving the show, the duo are still following one another on IG (a good sign) and have tagged each other in promotional material they’ve posted for the show. We’d guess that these two are still together…
Jacie and Brandon
This may not come as a surprise to anyone, but Jacie, a 26-year-old bartender and late check-in to the show, and Brandon, a 27-year-old nightclub owner whose sneaky link was Nicole S, did not check out together. Jacie decided to leave on her own and Brandon, who had flirted with multiple girls throughout the season, was forced to check out solo.
They do, however, appear to be on good terms: they are mutuals on IG, after all.
Zoé and Travis
Two absolute cuties Zoé, a 29-year-old fashion brand owner whose sneaky link was Kyle, and Travis, a 31-year-old account executive who sneaky link was Angelique, had an undeniable connection throughout the show, even as they got to know other contestants. We were rooting for these two, so it was a relief to see them leave the motel together.
“I think it’s nice to experience each other outside of everyone else and all the other couples and all the other tests and challenges,” said Zoé in the finale. “Of course, there will be other tests and challenges, but it’ll be nice to have a focus point right now.”
Again, these two are mutuals on IG, so we suspect they’re still an item.
Kelsey and Colt
Colt, a 32-year-old sales consultant, initially paired up with his sneaky link, the 30-year-old law student Angelique. However, his ‘head was turned’ (to quote Love Island) thanks to a certain late check-in named Kelsey.
Kelsey is a 24-year-old fashion website manager and model who caught Colt’s eye, leading to a love triangle. Ultimately, at the series finale, Colt told Kelsey he loved her and they left as a couple. To date, they’re still following one another on IG.
We’ll keep you updated with any further updates as and when they come in…
